    Summary

    “I will now tell you gossip about my classmates.” Shouto uses the word 'gossip' like it’s the first time he’s using the word in a sentence, which may very well be true. “Shinsou is my teacher’s son.”

    “I don’t even know who your teacher is,” Touya says.

    “That’s why I made a presentation.”

    Shouto has taken it upon himself to bond with his family members and Touya is no exception.

    Summary

    Shipwide Memo 209-F: Comms Brevity, or How Not to Narrate Your Own Heroics

    Channels are for information, not memoir. Use callsigns, locations, and verbs. Do not broadcast: “I’m going in, this is it, tell Waxer—” Save that breath for moving.

    Examples:
    • Good: “Gold Two, south stairwell blocked, rerouting east.”
    • Bad: “Sooo anyway—” (anything that follows “so anyway” is not brevity.)

    Regards,
    General Obi-Wan Kenobi

    P.S. If you can exclaim, you can exhale. Do the latter first.

    --

    Obi-Wan’s hilariously passive-aggressive memos inspire a cult following aboard the Negotiator—part safety manual, part stand-up routine. When a newly assigned Jedi adds a simple addendum—“Remember your humanity”—the words spread across decks, battalions, and hearts, reframing the voice Obi-Wan didn’t know he was writing in.

    Celebrating the small, boring acts that keep people alive.

    Summary

    How do you tell a dog from an SAS sergeant?

    Soap's been trying to think of a punchline, but so far, all he's got is a dog’s gotta shit in the woods and bury it slightly more often than an SAS Sergeant.

    Summary

    Max prides himself on his lack of self-depreciation. For all of Max’s flaws, he’s never been one to blame himself for problems that aren’t his fault. It doesn’t count that he blames himself for all the people that leave - those are his own fault. He has enough evidence to prove it too.

    Or, five people who leave Max, and one person who leaves, but comes back.

    Summary

    It is stupid of Nico to even give Lewis the chance to notice.
    The hot water kettle is just a bit too heavy at breakfast one morning and Nico loses his grip. Lewis is next to him at the buffet table of the hotel and catches it out of reflex; Nico knows better than to think it’s kindness. He stares at where Nico’s fingers are still refusing to cooperate.
    "What happened to your hand?"
    "Nerves" - Nico answers with a shrug, glad for the double meaning in the English phrasing.
    It's up to Lewis how he wants to interpret it; Nico didn't lie.
